Only if it comes with 50 Shades of Gray script DLC.

I've been playing Contagion this morning. It's actually pretty good! Needs some tweaking, and the object of the game needs to be a bit more clear, but otherwise, I like it!
Pics from my earlier playthrough. It's worth it at $3 I would say. Go for the headshots, though.
Focus on upgrading your equipment, attack power + health, and certain bosses favor certain classes. Use the class abilities a lot (Paladin was my preferred, the shield special makes you invincible from every direction), MP is easier to get back than HP.
I already bought it when it came out. I'll grab the DLC if that goes on sale though.

edited in a smaller picture, the original was huuge.
Great game, surprisingly interesting. It's not a GOTY for me, but it's a game that, similar to something like Sim City or Civ5, is totally enjoyable just laying down and playing with mouse only, killing time. Great stories and writing.
I love this game, but I have to admit: it is kinda grind-y. After a while, you notice that you can beat all the enemies in the first area, but not the second. Then second but not the third and so on.
What was the pricing error?

Same. As Curtis Mayfield puts it, you gotta keep on pushing.
I found the game quite hard until I unlocked the overpowered
Spellsword?
Got a new interweb for the sales.
aww yiss, finally.
edit: smaller image.
Since I decided to NOT buy a playstation 3 for now (don't worry Grief, I'll re-visit the idea in April. The console didn't pricedrop yet in my country, not enough anyway), I'm wondering if I should improve my 100/15 connection to 200/40 for 20 bucks extra.
It's not that much money, but I can't really use it that much: Everything good is overseas, and the overseas internet link is always overloaded...
Those are the though choices I have to live with.
Yeah likewise. In fact I'm quite surprised that I haven't picked up any AAA, Ritalin fuelled games this sale. Even though I bought it earlier in the month I popped on Rouges Legacy for what I thought was 30 mins earlier and had actually spent close to 3 hours of trial and failure.
Although I did grab Spelunky when it was on a flash, after seeing what all the fuss was about it's something I'm definitely going to pick up for my Vita if it gets a good deal sometime. Despite the nature of the gameplay I should really lend itself to play on the go.

Jesus. I must be the only person in my friend list without Fallout: New Vegas.
Is it? I remember hearing a lot of issues about poor framerate and input lag when the PC port came out, which has caused me to skip getting it.
I recommend not trying the first boss until after you feel comfortable surviving the forest area.
Don't hoard your magic so much, its okay to just use it up as the game eventually becomes quite forging in ways of getting it back. Don't waste it all at once, just use it every now and then to keep yourself from battles you don't need to fight closely.
Armour and weapons are much better things to spend gold on early on, not stats.

Help me out folks. I have a crappy laptop not at all designed to play games, but I want an under $10 game or two. No mouse, so I prefer games that are easily played with just keyboard or aren't at least aren't at all twitchy. I know that's a lot of restrictions, but anywho, I was looking at Spelunky and/or Rogue Legacy. Are there any outstanding turn-based strategy or tower defense games on sale? I have Civ V and Tropico, enjoy them both. What do you experts think?

I might have to play Assassin's Creed 3 on high or medium settings from now on. I don't know why but when I play AC3 my computer sounds like a jet engine, but when playing Max Payne 3 (which I'm guessing is more powerful) my computer runs nicely.
I guess it's because it's an open world game. Which speaking of Max Payne 3, it's pretty great so far.

Maybe check out if Binding of Isaac looks interesting to you, I highly recommend it.

You know what you have to do.
IIRC, AC games tend to be poorly optimized. Ubisoft just ain't bout dat life.

It's kind of hard to explain fundamentals without being able to phisically show you.
Basically try reading about footsies and then watch high level play so you can somewhat understand how the game flows. Then you go and learn stuff like combos from there. It's a lot easier than it looks, just needs some patience and dedication.

He mentions laptop so I take it he plays with a touchpad, which is fine for games like Civ.

Hahah that reminds me of the hack for RUSE. Really brings home the meaning of armchair commander.
I hear FTL is pretty good...
If someone want The Cave, it's only around 1,70$ on Nuuvem

I'm ready for today's price error... I mean, daily deals.
I got
Surgeon Simulator 2013,
Spelunky
Trine 2
Counter Strike GO.
I have to say Surgeon Simulator is the most fun I have had in ages. Its brilliant and once you get the hang of it you get really good at it.
Not too sure on Spelunky yet. Its incredibly unforgiving. Those arrow traps are fecking annoying.

I can't speak for the original, but I impulse bought Prototype 2 last Steam sale during a Flash. I played it for about an hour and I didn't like it very much. If you want a game like that, Saints Row IV is ace. It's the real spiritual successor to Crackdown.
